Case ID: 4766 | Consumer Products | 04/19/2006
A women’s health spa misleads customers into believing their membership contract cannot be canceled, claims a class action in St. Louis County Court. Plaintiffs claim USF Worldwide Holdings dba New Lady Fitness Healthspas use intentionally vague language to make customers believe they cannot cancel their memberships.
State law requires health spa contracts to be cancelable within three business days and that all money to be refunded be paid within 30 days of cancellation. The defendant’s contract has no provision entitling members to cancel the contracts, and the buyers’ right to cancel within three business days is confusing because of a provision stating, “membership is non-cancelable, non-transferable, non-refundable, and non-assignable.” The class consists of as many as 250,000 women in the St. Louis area who purchased 2 year contracts.
